Elan Sprint softop since a 250GTO is way beyond even my dreams. Back in the 70's working in BBC TV outside broadcasts which involved a lot of travelling, my young colleagues and I had an interesting range of cars pass through our hands, including Daimler SP250, 4.2 E-type, Gilbert Invader, Jensen CV8, Lotus Elan SE, Jensen Healey, Sunbeam Tiger, two Reliant Scimitar GTE's, Triumphs TR3, TR4 IRS, GT6, Aston Martin DB2/4, Austin Healey 100/6, Porche 911S etc. and those are just the ones I remember. Would be happy to own just one of those now. I do remember though the guy with the SP250 selling it after building an Elan Sprint in the classic red/white from a kit.

We had a guy that used to work with them but left and joined our crowd for better money and overseas travel his name was Dave Scrivener who was based in Cambridge at the time and owned a fair few properties. As he attended property and car auctions regularly he got fed up with them asking him to spell out his name so Dave being Dave changed it to Sands, the first auction he attended after the change the auctioneer asked him "and how are we spelling that Sir". He was a bit of an oddball and eventually settled in Whithorn and his wife died and he couldn't stand being alone and took his own life, a sad old story but we had a lot of fun on various overseas contracts.

I've been close to buying a TVR2500M, Lotus Elan, and Lotus Elise.
Of those now, only the Elan still talks to me. A Europa Twin Cam, yes.
Other cars get harder.....Maserati Bora maybe.
Lagonda Rapide from the fifties/sixties...…..fond memories of a Christmas shopping trip into the city and crowds gathering round when we stopped.
AC Cobra, maybe even a replica GT40, maybe even a replica
Lancia Fulvia
Alfa GTV
Pretty much anything pre WW2 in the Blower Bentley mould

Besides the original 1960's TVR Griffiths I'd take the Taimar Turbo but without the decals, I hate all decals they cheapen anything  . I's a V engine for me every time  I liked the Essex V6 in my Scimitar GTE and always fancied a Robin Rew Turbo conversion but the three youngsters came along followed shortly by a 22 year series of company cars. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/04/26/ttu.png)
